Humorous Sayings

They'll put us on a ship and haul us to London in a cage, is what they'll do.

They'll put you, Caulaincourt, in a cage and show you off to the London merchants. I can just see you all full of honey and covered with flies in that cage. How would you like that?

There for awhile I thought the jig was up. I told myself: this is act one of the cage story. Caulaincourt had better start learning to growl like a bear.

I don't love you, not at all; on the contrary I detest you—you're a naughty, gawky, foolish slut.

A kiss on your heart, and one much lower down, much lower!

You are wicked and naughty, very naughty, as much as you are fickle.

How happy I would be if I could assist you at your undressing, the little firm white breast, the adorable face, the hair tied up in a scarf a la creole.

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.

That is worthy of me.

Hats off gentlemen! Were this man still alive, I would not be here today.

I have my own.

Please, no jokes!

The word impossible is not French.

I awoke full of you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night have left my senses no rest.

I hope before long to crush you in my arms and cover you with a million kisses burning as though beneath the equator.

Till then, a thousand kisses… but give me none back for they set my blood on fire.

They say that you are as fat as a good Normandy farmeress.

What on earth have I done to think only of you to love only Josephine to live only for my wife to enjoy happiness only with my dear.
